    Real talk

    Tuberose tends to scare people off. Too heady, too much skank. Etoile de Saba plays it different, pure white floral lift without the weight. This is the version that converts the non-believers.Etoile de Saba
    The name promises vanilla and wood, but the beeswax and benzoin are the real story here. This fragrance does not evolve dramatically because it essentially IS its heart from the first spray.Un Bois Vanille
